4. Anita Pallenberg

Born in Rome to an Italian artist and German secretary, Anita Pallenberg has enjoyed successful careers as a model, actress and fashion designer. But this influential beauty will forever be remembered as the driving force behind the Rolling Stones during their formative years. Pallenberg began dating Stones’ cofounder Brian Jones in 1965 but left him in 1967 for legendary guitarist Keith Richards with whom she maintained a relationship until 1979. During her time with the Stones, Pallenberg helped form the band’s bad-boy image — and even gained Mick Jagger’s respect with her artistic criticism of certain songs, particularly on the Beggars Banquet album.
